Emergency Roof Leak Detection & Repair in Greater Houston
Fast pinpointing of hidden water entry points before ceiling stains turn into dangerous drywall collapse and hidden mold growth. Serving Houston, Katy, Cypress, Waller & beyond.
Water rarely leaks into your house directly below where it enters the roof.
When a homeowner spots a brown water ring on their ceiling drywall, the actual roof breach is often 10 to 20 feet away. Water enters through a compromised shingle or cracked pipe boot, runs down sloping plywood rafter rafters, pools over ceiling joists, and finally breaks through at the lowest drywall seam.
EliKay Roofing uses forensic leak tracing to locate the true point of water entry. We inspect attic rafters for water trails, examine valley flashing, verify pipe boot seals, and provide a lasting structural repair—not just a temporary smear of tar that fails in the next rain.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Roof Leak Detection & Repair
Place a bucket under active drips. If water is pooling and making the drywall bulge, carefully poke a small hole in the center with a screwdriver to let water drain into a bucket. This relieves water weight and prevents the entire ceiling from collapsing.
